Maybe not even that. Remember what happened to those cute wooden boats during the battle of the Blackwater. Those Vikings would soon find out that Westeros is not medieval England!

Ah, yes....the time when Tommen led his troops from the front whilst his uncle hid in the secure chamber

They weren't led by Ragnar Loothbrook.
He woulnd't just smash his boats into a walled city en masse.

Weren't most of the stores of Wildfire used up during the Battle of Blackwater?

August · 06-12-16, 05:01 PM

Well not just wild fire but dragons and witchcraft (that works) and white walkers and unsullied and dire wolves not to mention combat hardened groups of armed men everywhere you look. The Vikings were the toughest guys on their block but in Westeros I don't think they'd even make the top ten

Wow, Arya's story arc with the Faceless Men reeeaally was worth all the time spent on it.

Mhyeah it was a little... unspectacular.
However, overall the episode was really good.
Blackfish was an idiot though. I can't understand his reasoning.
He was cunning, tough, smart and experienced - not in this episode however.
Brienne was spot on and I am not convinced by "muh dis ma home!" when he dies anyways.
By leaving he might have had a chance getting it back later after helping Sansa, who could have needed his help for sure. Honestly, I dare to say: Lazy writing.

Still, "I chose violence!" made it all OK again.

I can't understand the reasoning of anyone in the castle.

In episode 7 no one seemed to care if Lord Squareface had been executed right there and then. Come episode 8 and everyone's like "Oooh, but he's our lord! We must obey him!"

It's like there are two teams writing the show in S6 and competing how they can screw the other team over.

Team 1: "People liked that whole trial by combat stuff earlier, let's do it again!"
Team 2: "Lol, nope. Not allowed!"

Team 1: "We haven't had any real big battles in a while, let's have a siege! That'll make the watchers happy!"
Team 2: "Sorry, can't have that either!

"

Team 1: "So, Arya is chased by an assassin. Why not fool the watchers a bit? Let's have Arya walk around like she's on vacation, maybe make it part of her plan to get the Waif or something like that!"
Team 2: "Nope, she's just a complete idiot!

"

You might actually be onto something there. The episode where she makes her big decision ends with her waiting in the dark, sword at the ready. In the next episode it's like she didn't see it coming at all. They seem to have her waffling a lot.

Overall, though, I'm still enjoying it.

Yep, best part so far but better yet to come.
